FRANK ALLEN A SUICIDE.
HE KILLS HIMSELF AT MACON
AFTER A PROTRACTED SPREE.

His Shortcomings Forgiven Repeat
edly by the Cotton Firm Whose
Books lie Was sKeeping--Self Destruc-
ton Follows a Discharge-A Promise
to Bury Him Obtained From the
Firm.
MACON, GA, July 6.--The click of par
lor rife about o'clock this afternoon in the
rear of the Daisy House led to the discovery
of one of the saddest suicides in the city's
history. Frank G.. Allen has been for about
two years bookkeeper of the large cotton
firm of w. b. q o. G. Sparks. He is about
80 years old, and came TO this place
from Washington, Ga. He was
native Of Savannah. He was hand
some and intelligent. His principal
fault was over indulgence in the cup He
has been on several sprees of late which
threatened to lose him his position His
employers were lenient, however, and gave
him trial after trial Young Allen appre-
ciated the leniency and signed a pledge to
ABSTAIN from the future, and in which he
agreed to consider himself discharged if ha
again become intoxicated.
HIS LAST SPREE.
When his employer left the city n few
days ago he noticed that Allen was drink
ing, but on his return found that he had
| sobered up and gone back to work He
concluded then to give him another trial,
| which ended yesterday in another spree for
the unfortunate young man. IL began on
the Fourth. When he turned up this morn
ing he went 20 w. b. Sparks and asked if
he must consider himself discharged He
was told yes. Then he remarked: "You
will bury me then if should die before to-
morrowp Sparks humored what he sup
posed was joke and told him YES"
FOUND DEAD
Nothing more was thought of Allen until
the hour mentioned this afternoon when
| Charles Ross, who rooms next TO Allen at
the Daisy House, was at Sparks warehouse
talking about Allen. Aliens peculiar ro-
| mark was repeated and the attending cir
| cumstances related. It occurred 20 Mr..
Ross then that the shot of the rifle that
awoke him was a suicides bullet. He hur
| ried back TO Aliens room and found
him dead in bed--not, however,
| from bullet wound, but from
some powerful poison that had produced
death almost Instantly Drs Mediation
and Williams were called in, but could not
discover what the portion was he drank.
LEFT NO LETTER
There was no trace of any kind nor any
| letter or clue. tie was seon in front of tho
| hotel forty minutes before and twenty
minutes before in his room The saddest
part of the affair is that young Allen was TO
nave been married Tomorrow night to Miss
| Ida Taylor, a sweet and accomplished
young lady of this city. No connection is
supposed to exist between this fact and tho
| suicide, as he had prepared for the event and
| had invited several friends The engage
ment was broken off some time since on ac-
count of his habits but was renewed two
| aifa nj at4ff
promise TO reform. His death has produced
| a marked sensation.

PINKERToNs LITTLE ARMY.
Their Presence Causing a Bitter Feel
ing in the Coke Regions.


UNIoNTowN, PA, July 6.-The presence
of Pinkerton's armed men in the coke re-
gion has caused intense excitement, and So
rious trouble may follow. The strikers are
indignant and denounce the action of the
operators in bringing detectives into the re-
gions in the loudest terms. Last night 500
strikers at West Leisenring held n meeting,
and unanimously resolved to continue "he
strike at Jimtown. IL is said the men are
weakening, and large number is expected
to return to work before the close of the
week, William Mullen, Secretary Of the
Miners Association, in a statement 10 the
newspapers says 1.-THE men are quiet but
determined, and the introduction of Pinker-
ton detectives into the coke rc-
gion will be the advent of bitter feel
ing between employers and employed
that years will not eradicate. Tho strikers
will be counseled to keep within the limits Of
the law, but the landing of Pinkerton's
agents has been the starting of rioting and
OF bloodshed wherever they have been used.
There may be some disturbance in the Con
nelsville coke region, however, and some
lives lost. The responsibility will rest upon
those who brought the detectives here"
The detectives are in charge of Supt. Lin
den, of Philadelphia, and Capt. Foley, of
Chicago. They are not here, they say, TO
cause trouble, but to prevent IL and to pro
tect those who desire to return to work
They will remain until the strike has been
broken.
THE RESUMPTION.
This was the day set by the coke opera
tors for resumption of work by
those of their employees who had
expressed themselves as willing TO go
back at the old wages The works generally
throughout the region were open to all who

QUEBEC, July z, 3 A. M-Between II and
~ o'clock tonight fire broke out in the bar
racks at the citadel, and il rapidly extended

either burned or sutfocatcd. The fire
from this point spread TO the

sumed.

entrance, and is now burning 10 the western
extremity of the block. A number Of
bombs are exploding and the worst fears
are entertained. Many timid citizens are
leaving the city, thinking the magazines are
sure TO 20.

spot and worked like a Trojan, rendering
